The Song of the Journey
- Sutanu Bhattacharya.
What is the meaning of lifeIf it all just ends in death
What is meaning of life
That ends in a finite breath
It’s the journey that gives it meaning
The awakening at each dawn
The people places and memories
The emotions and the songs
The love and hate felt on the way
Hope, despair, virtue and sin
In the end only happy are they
Who await a new journey to begin
The glorious note of music
The brush’s stroke sublime
The nobility of human love
And all that is divine
Speak to us of the souls
In patterns we daily see
Of those who went with grace and honor
To their newest destiny
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- Bappa Dasgupta
As I read your poems
Rare though they be,
Each has slowly borne a growing tear
As the depth of your wisdom unfurls,
From the Start to The End

Hello Khushi,
My friends Sutanu and Bappa the invited authors of "The Song of the Journey" and its followup, sends their thanks for your nice words.
With warm wishes
Gautam.
nice work!
i hv my reservation on these lines:
"In the end only happy are they
Who await a new journey to begin"
Hello Mohit,
My friends send their thanks for ur appreciation and comments. I will ask them about the line you mention. Possibly it means that they are happy who take joy in the journey and not reaching a destination. So in some sense it speaks of
letting go of attachments. Bye.
Warm wishes
GS
